CSO appoints Samantha Teter

The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera appointed Samantha Teter as executive director effective immediately. Teter has been serving as Interim Executive Director since last November.

“I am honored and excited to be taking on this very important role in the Chattanooga arts community,” states Teter. “The CSO musicians, staff, and board are top-notch, and I look forward to strengthening the organization alongside them as we expand the CSO’s reach and reputation.” Teter will work with the CSO board on a new five-year strategic plan, improve financial and organizational processes and procedures, continue work on increasing audiences, and build upon the CSO’s current donor, corporate, and foundation relationships.
